About
Jump to
Heather Dewey-Hagborg (born 1982, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an information artist and bio-hacker. She is most noted for her project Stranger Visions: a series of portraits created from DNA she recovered from discarded items, such as hair, cigarettes and chewing gum while living in Brooklyn, New York. She sequenced the DNA at the Brooklyn open biotechnology laboratory, Genspace. From the extracted DNA, she determined gender, ethnicity and other factors and then used face-generating software and a 3D printer to create a 3D portrait. While critical of technology and surveillance, some critics have found her work disturbing.
